Gu Quxi walked in front of Su Yunjiao, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, come and see, what I brought back to you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Su Yunjiao turned around when she heard this, saw him holding a light blue flowing cloud silver-patterned brocade box in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"Wouldn't you just know if you open it and take a look? Gu Quxi handed the brocade box to Su Yunjiao, Su Yunjiao was curious, she had a cold face in her previous life, but there was no such thing, she only let the maids accept the gifts given by her cousins, without even looking at them, and let those gifts pile up in the corner of the Enlightened Pavilion, so she didn't know what her cousins gave her.

Without much hesitation, Su Yunjiao stretched out her hand and opened the brocade box in front of her.

"This is ......," Su Yunjiao exclaimed. As soon as the lid of the box is opened, there is a sweet taste overflowing, and there are twelve peony flowers with different appearances, snow-white petals, a little red on the tip of the petal, the appearance is small and exquisite, the jade snow is cute, Su Yunjiao is very happy to see it.

"The fourth cousin is not as capable as your sixth brother, and he brought so many rare treasures for you to play with, but fortunately, I have a wide range of friends on weekdays, and I happen to know Master Shi of Suxiangzhai, he once owed me a favor, and this time he asked him to pay it back. Gu Quxi said with a smile, "This pastry is called 'Xueyan', it is specially developed for you, it is unique, and others can't eat it." How, Jiaojiao still likes it?"

"I like it, I like it, I like it. "If you talk about the best food in the capital, it should be in the Yipin (Harmony) Building, but if you talk about the best pastries, it belongs to Crispy Xiang Zhai, and the best craftsmanship in Crispy Fragrance Zhai is none other than Master Shixiang Gaoshi," It's hard for the fourth cousin to remember that I like these sweets. ”

Hearing her say that she liked it, Gu Quxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that she would be too thin and didn't like it: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, Jiaojiao likes it, how can the fourth cousin not remember." ”

Su Xun also smiled and said: "The fourth cousin has a heart, this is much stronger than my mundane things." ”

"But it's not as good as yours. Gu Quxi shook his head and whispered in his ear, "Qi Xuan, that kid has been sullen recently, gritting his teeth and making up his mind that he will never fall for your hook again in the future." ”

"Oh, is it?" Su Xun smiled, "I hope." ”

Gu Quxi sighed, it's difficult, it's really difficult for Qi Xuan's kid to think of a hook!

didn't listen carefully to the conversation between Gu Quxi and Su Xun, Su Yunjiao just stared at the twelve small and lovely peony flowers in the box, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, the more she looked at it, the more reluctant she was to eat it, and she couldn't help but sigh with a bitter face: "Such beautiful pastries, but I am reluctant to eat them, how is this good?"

Gu Quxi said with a smile: "Jiaojiao doesn't have to worry about this, Master Shi has already promised me, if you want to eat in the future, you just need to order someone to go to Crispy Xiangzhai and say it." ”

Su Yunjiao smiled again when she heard this: "Since this is the case, I am relieved." After that, pick out a budding peony flower cake from the food box, lightly open the shell teeth and take a bite, the sweet taste fills the entire mouth in an instant, the taste is crisp and soft, and there is a slightly cool sweet pulp overflowing inside, which slowly flows from the tip of the tongue to the esophagus, like a peony in full bloom all the way.

"Well, it's delicious, Master Shi's craftsmanship is really extraordinary!" Su Yunjiao praised without hesitation, "Everyone try it." As he spoke, he picked up a piece and handed it to Gu Xiyi, "Grandfather, try it." After Gu Xiyi took it, he took out another piece, ran to Old Taijun Chu, and sent it directly to her mouth, Su Yunjiao smiled and said, "Grandmother also try it." ”

"Eh. Mrs. Chu smiled so much that her eyes became a slit, and she tasted Su Yunjiao's hand and said, "It's really good, Xiaosi bothered." ”

Gu Quxi said with a smile: "I don't want to please my grandmother, but it's unexpected." ”

Gu Tianbo "cut" and said, "You just borrowed Jiaojiao's light!"

Gu Quxi smiled when he heard this: "No matter what, it's good to make my grandmother happy." It's you, the gift to Jiaojiao is the longest you have prepared, why not take it out and take a look, so as to see if Jiaojiao likes it. ”

"Yes, yes, the fifth brother quickly take it out and take a look. Gu Liujiang also laughed and coaxed, even Gu Hanhai, who had always been steady, frequently glanced at him, not to mention Su Yunjiao, who looked at him expectantly.

Gu Tianbo smiled mysteriously: "I don't want to show it to you now, and I will order someone to send it after Jiaojiao returns to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion." ”

"What?" Gu Pinghu said, "Is it because I'm afraid that Jiaojiao won't like it?" ”

"How is that possible, the things I send are naturally Jiaojiao's favorite. Gu Tianbo said confidently.

Su Yunjiao was even more curious about what Gu Tingbo gave her, and everyone present was also curious, but Gu Tingbo refused to reveal it, and insisted that she would not send it until she would send it. Looking at Gu Tianbo's insistence, Su Yunjiao shook her head, it seemed that she would only know the answer when she went back.

Others couldn't guess what Gu Tingbo was sending, but Su Xun, who knew both Su Yunjiao and Gu Tianbo very well, already had eyebrows, thought about it for a while, and immediately smiled: "Jiaojiao has been away from Beijing for two years, is the fifth cousin sure that those are still her favorites?"

Although Gu Quxi next to him couldn't guess what it was, he understood Su Xun's expression a little, his cousin has always been very smart, and since he said so, Gu Quxi also smiled and said: "Fifth brother, don't be self-defeating, make Jiaojiao angry and ignore you." ”

"Go, go, go. Gu Tianbo waved his hand impatiently and let him go.

Their brothers and sisters are having fun below, Mrs. Chu is even happier at the top, the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei has not been so lively for a long time, and Mrs. Chu enjoys this feeling of being full of children and grandchildren. After they made trouble for a while, Mrs. Chu said: "Let's rest, drink tea and make trouble." ”

When Jiang heard this, he glanced at Sanying behind the old lady, Sanying understood, smiled kindly at Jiang, and turned around to go to the teahouse to serve tea.

Gu Xiyi walked up to Mrs. Chu and sat down, and asked with a smile, "Madame, are you happy today?"

Mrs. Chu glanced at him: "I don't need to ask, Jiaojiao is back, I'm happy." After that, she smiled at Su Yunjiao again, and Su Yunjiao replied with a bright smile when she saw her.

Gu Xiyi saw the interaction between their ancestors and grandchildren, and was deeply grateful, Jiaojiao came back this time to get a lot closer to them, no matter what the reason, it was a good thing.

"It's you, why did you come back so late than usual?" asked Mrs. Chu, "But what happened in the court?"

The conversation of the two elders did not avoid anyone, the Gu family is different from other people's families, and they never shy away from talking about political affairs with their families, even the female relatives of the family can also listen, if they have any ideas, they can also speak out, and everyone will discuss them together. It's just that Su Yunjiao didn't like to listen to these things in her previous life, and she always felt that those political affairs were very boring and boring, and they had nothing to do with her, so every time she heard them talk about this, she found a reason to leave, so the Gu family rarely talked about these things in front of her later.

Today's Su Yunjiao is different, she is very interested in these things, but the Su family is not more open-minded than the Gu family, and her parents are not there, her sixth brother knows her temperament very well, so naturally he will not take the initiative to mention these things to her, and she has no chance to hear it. It was a good opportunity to listen to my grandmother now, so I sat there obediently and listened attentively.

Sanying came up with the brewed tea, and after serving a cup to each of them, Gu Xiyi waved her and all the maids in the house to go down.

Gu Xiyi took a sip of tea before he said slowly: "It's about Liangzhou and Huaihe, it's not a big deal." ”

"Liangzhou?" said Mrs. Chu, "Approaching the end of the year, Beimu has gone to the border town to grab grain, right?"

Gu Xiyi nodded, Old Taijun Chu snorted, and said: "I have to come here for a while every year, and I don't have to be annoyed, sooner or later I will clean up those Beimu barbarians!"

"A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. The last time there was a big battle in the Northern Mujing, the vitality was greatly damaged, but if Tianqi wanted to completely gnaw this land, it would be difficult to do it for a while. "Gu Xiyi said, the attrition of the war is on both sides, Beimu's side is seriously injured, with heavy casualties, and Tianqi's side has also paid a considerable price, but it is slightly smaller than Beimu, "We still need a period of cultivation and recuperation, and there will be no big moves in the short term." ”

Mrs. Chu is not an ordinary ignorant woman, Gu Xiyi understands what she said, and Shicai's words are just her temporary dissatisfaction and complaining.

Old Taijun Chu frowned and asked: "It's just that the Duke of Wei Guo has passed away, and the dragons in Liangzhou have no leader, so there won't be anything wrong, right?"

Su Xun, who had been sitting in the hall, said with a smile: "Grandmother, you can rest assured, although the old Weiguo Gong is gone, there is still a little Wei Guogong, with his ability, it is not difficult to deal with these small fights in Beimu." ”

"Oh?" said Mrs. Chu, raising her eyebrows, "Xun'er knows him." ”

Su Xun said: "We haven't met yet, but we have been friends for a long time." ”

I almost saw it in Jiangnan that time, but unfortunately I missed it in the end, but I didn't worry, in two or three years, they would finally have a while, but I don't know if he went back to the capital, or if he went to Liangzhou.

Gu Xiyi also agreed: "I also saw the Wei family kid when he was a child, and I thought he was good at the time, but now that Wei Guogong has passed away, there has been no chaos in Liangzhou so far, most of which is due to him." ”

Although I knew in my previous life that the Gu family and her sixth brother had a very high evaluation of Wei Qingjue, in this life, I still felt excited when I heard it, and there was still some faint pride in my heart.

In this way, I was relieved. Old Mrs. Chu sighed, "Hey, but I don't know when I will be able to completely solve the problem of Beimu." ”

Su Xun hesitated for a while, but still spoke: "Ten years later." ”

Gu Xiyi's eyes stared, he thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, Old Taijun Chu also knew a little about Su Xun's grandson, and knew that there must be a basis for him to say this, so he said: "So, I can still see the day when the world is one?"

Su Xun said with a smile: "My grandmother is blessed with a deep fate, and I can see it." ”

With the experience of her previous life, Su Yunjiao knew that what Su Xun said was right, Tianqi and Beimu had indeed started a big war ten years later. At that time, due to the civil strife in Tianqi, the border pass was dragged back, and many good generals were killed, including Gu Xiuluan, Gu Liujiang, Gu Quxi, and Wei Qingjue.

Because of the civil strife, the decisive battle of the prayer pastor, which should have been in the hands of the winner, was fought for seven years, and in the end, although Tianqi was victorious, it was a tragic victory. Mrs. Chu did not see the final unification of the world as she wished. After that battle, Tianqi began a long period of cultivation and recuperation, and the only thing that had to be fortunate was that there was no great enemy around Tianqi, and he could rest assured that he would recover his vitality until his peak.

It's just that Su Yunjiao only knew this because of her previous life, so why is her sixth brother so sure, can he still predict the future?

Su Yunjiao didn't ask, just looked at Su Xun with a puzzled look. Su Xun noticed her gaze, and almost didn't have to think about it to know what she meant, and asked softly, "What does Jiaojiao want to ask?"

Su Yunjiao had nothing to hide, lowered her voice and asked the question in her heart: "Why ten years later?"
